[QUOTE="MidnightBlue, post: 19709400, member: 111308"] Generally speaking, polygamous fundamentalists are among the very last sorts of people I'd like to see on the judge's bench. But I believe the commission's finding is in error. The state has no authority to regulate any kind of marriage other than civil marriage, and it's pretty clear the judge has exactly one civil marriage and has not attempted to have more than one. We don't generally make a practice of disciplining public officials because of the number of their intimate relationships or the way they think about those relationships, and if we plan to start now, there are going to be a lot of very uncomfortable officials. There's no doubt this man is being discriminated against because of his religion. His religion is backwards, wrongheaded and offensive, but we don't really want to open that can of worms, do we?
